In January 2017, Jennifer Hudson joined the coaching panel for the sixth season of The Voice UK, which premiered on ITV.
At the time, Hudson, then 35, attended the press launch at Millbank Tower in London. She was joined by the show’s host, Emma Willis, and fellow coaches Will.I.Am, Sir Tom Jones, and newcomer Gavin Rossdale.

Jennifer opted to wear a form-fitting black knit dress from Altuzarra’s Resort 2017 collection to showcase her curves. This flattering dress featured three-quarter sleeves, polished silver buttons on the side, and a knee-length hem.
Jennifer kept the rest of the look simple, accessorizing with diamond stud earrings and a ring. She rocked her pixie haircut and completed her beauty look with a slick of red lipstick and mascara.

Strappy heels could have made Jennifer look sexier, but she chose to wear chunky heels. Jennifer Hudson’s Miu Miu velvet heels at The Voice UK press launch added height with their platform and block heel.
Still, they were more manageable than the towering 6.25-inch Super Dombasle cork platforms by Christian Louboutin, which she wore on a previous occasion. The Super Dombasle heels dramatically boosted her height yet required extra care due to their extreme platform.
